Help with Templar rda

[pizzadave80]

Hi everyone. I received a Templar rda from Augvape. For the life of me I can't get a build to work. The top clamps make contact on two points and it seems to make a hot spot within every time. As expected, the resistance jumps all over the place because this small portion of the coil heats up rather than the entire coil. Wondering if pulling the outer cores off would help or not? So far this rda is not even vapable.

It doesn't seem to short at that point or anything.

Any pointers would be awesome!

From what I can tell, all coil legs are supposed to be in the lower holes. Where they are, is creating a dead short through the coil leg, to the top clamp, and then through the other coil leg on the other side back to ground. Place the legs in the lower holes, and give that a go.

As bilbs said you can run both in bottom holes only it’ll sort the problem out for you

Dave I know this is probably for your review mate but by all means check mine out (at least the build bit)... that lead I bet is lose this is what I found when it fired like that ..that top screw really has to be wrenched down you can get an even glow alternating but it seems to slip one side as if there isn’t even pressure on all leads ...the pressure is better using just bottom holes

Hope it helps

You are correct. I will probably assemble in lower holes. I felt the same way as you guys and was thinking of trying bottom holes. Sure makes the deck pointless. It is supposed to be made to put them straight in, but those sharp points of contact ruin that.

Moved all 4 coil leads to the bottom post holes and the templar works like a dream. Kind of defeats the purpose of their "straight in no bend necessary" design...but at least it is functional!

Thanks for the tips fam
